Matthew Barnett, founder of the Dream Center in L.A., has written a book about what it should mean to be alive.  This is how everyone should live everyday.   Pastor Barnett gives great advice and snippets of advice on living your life to the fullest while fulfilling the one great thing you were created to do in this world.  Regardless of your religious backgrounds or beliefs, the center core of this book is service to mankind.  What could be greater? In reading this book, we are reminded that by giving of ourselves, we become greater, more at peace and satisfied in knowing that we are living the way that we were meant to.  The many stories of people once lost to the street, to drugs, to abuse and other tragedies are uplifting and give you a respect for what Pastor Barnett does to help all walks of people through his Dream Center and programs.  If nothing else, this book will inspire you to be a better person, to live a better life and look deeper at ...

A little touch of Valentine's!  This was much needed at my house especially since we just took down the Christmas tree.  (I know, sadly pathetic.) I was so happy when I received this fun fun fun banner (or bunting) in the mail today.  Lacey at Stinkbug Designs sent this to me and I just love it!!  I immediately put it up in the entry way as it seemed the perfect place. Are you decorating for Valentine's?  What fun goodies have you put up to celebrate?

I hope that everyone had as much fun as I did participating in the Handmade with Love Winter Giveaway and Blog Hop.  I felt like I was window shopping as I browsed the shops and sites of the many, many sponsors.  Thank you to Simply Stacie and the other Hosts for organizing such a fun event!

Thank you to everyone for entering and stopping by!!
